In today's lone matchup between two of the league's bottom-feeders, our NHL betting picks and predictions lean on some of Chicago's top-end talent to help secure a home win versus the Flyers and their heavily banged-up lineup. The Chicago Blackhawks against the Philadelphia Flyers might not be the most exciting matchup right now, but it's the only…

The Philadelphia Flyers make their Christmas break return tonight with a matchup against the San Jose Sharks. Tonight's game is the first of the annual three-game post-Christmas road trip on the west coast. In the Sharks' past 15 home games against the Flyers, they are 12-2-1. The most recent game between both teams was on October 23rd. The Sharks…

It's been a long 2022 for the Flyers and their fans. The team has suffered through a lot of losses, been stricken by injuries to key players, dealt with a coaching change, and said goodbye to one of the franchise's greatest-ever players in Claude Giroux. How bad has it been? The Flyers have accumulated a putrid 24-51-12 record and earned just 60 of…

Of course Nick Sirianni said Tuesday that he would not rule out playing Jalen Hurts on Christmas Eve against the Dallas Cowboys. And the quarterback said there's "definitely a chance" he'll suit up only six days after suffering a sprained right shoulder against the Chicago Bears. Does anyone believe that? Granted, the Eagles can wrap up the top…

As we approach the holiday season and end of the calendar year, it's time we take another look at the NHL Sour Rankings and rank the teams putting their worst foot forward in an attempt to secure the best odds at the first overall pick. Unless one of these teams has a 2019 St. Louis Blues-level turnaround, there is a good chance that one of them…

On Thursday night, the Philadelphia Flyers (13-15-7) will try to snap a five-game losing streak when they visit the Boston Bruins (20-11-2) at TD Garden. It's the third and final meeting between the teams this season. The Flyers defeated Boston 6-3 in October and the Bruins returned the favor in November, defeating Philadelphia 5-2. Let's get into…

It'll be American Thanksgiving in a little over two weeks, and it's a key date in hockey because if you're in playoff position by that time, your odds of making the cut are roughly 75 percent. Last season, only three teams - Ducks, Jets and Golden Knights - in the top 16 of the American Thanksgiving edition of the Power Rankings missed the…

It's very early in the NHL season, but the records for both the Flyers and Lightning are probably the opposite of what we expected. New coach John Tortorella has his Philly squad off to a 2-0-0 start while the Lightning have stumbled to a 1-2-0 record in their first three games. Nevertheless, oddsmakers aren't expecting a surprise in this one…

It's officially hockey season. The Philadelphia Flyers will kick off their 2022 campaign this evening with a clash against the New Jersey Devils at the Wells Fargo Center. Buckle up, this is where the fun begins. When: 7PM EST, Thursday October 13th Where: Wells Fargo Center, Philadelphia How: ESPN+, Hulu Why: I don't know. Betting line:…

The start of the 2022-23 NHL regular season is just around the corner so it is time to take a look at the Metropolitan Division as a whole and see what sort of competition the Pittsburgh Penguins will be looking at this season. This is Part 1 of our divisional preview and looks at teams we see finishing in the fifth through eighth place spots. What…

If there was ever a year to tank in the NHL, this is it. The 2023 Draft Class is considered to be the deepest in almost a decade and is headlined by Connor Bedard, who is drawing comparisons to Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews and Nathan MacKinnon as a potential franchise-changing prospect. Bedard is the consensus No. 1 pick but the class of'23 goes…

On Thursday night, A.J. Greer did his best to lay claim to a Bruins roster spot with a two-goal, seven-hit performance. On Saturday, it was Marc McLaughlin's turn to raise his hand. McLaughlin, the Billerica native and former Boston College captain, scored two goals to lead the B's to a 4-0 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers at the Garden in the…

The Philadelphia Flyers are a bit of a mess. The 2022-23 NHL season is on the horizon and it's hard to really find any real reason to be optimistic about this team other than the Head Coach having a reputation to turn water into wine. If you're looking to bet on the Flyers this season, it probably seems like a waste of money. But just because the…

The Philadelphia Flyers were caught in purgatory over the past couple of seasons and didn't do anything this summer to clarify the direction of the team. Rather than trade away assets and begin rebuilding, the Flyers made big commitments to veterans Rasmus Ristolainen and Tony DeAngelo while not making any notable changes to improve a forward group…

For hockey fans, it's the "most wonderful time of the year"! Training camp is upon us and fans of just about every team are optimistic that this could be their year…well, maybe not Sabres fans. For us fans of the Flyers, we're apprehensive. Last year was terrible, but much of that can be attributed to young players having to fill the ranks of all…
